Chapter 44 Gu Zhibei: I just went for a night run
Jiang Youyu was stunned.
The tall woman, though weathered and worn, still exuded charm in her eyes and brows.
Shen Qiuyu put down her handbag and sat down in the girl's wheelchair without any hesitation.
"Aren't you surprised?" she said with a smile.
Jiang Youyu pulled the blanket tighter around her, her voice filled with barely concealed nervousness:
"Aunt Shen, aren't you abroad?"
"You should come back to see the kids occasionally."
Shen Qiuyu crossed her legs and stared at the girl's face with great interest.
"You look even more radiant than before? Looks like that guy's been taking good care of you."
Jiang Youyu blushed deeply: "Auntie! Gu Zhibei and I are just...just friends!"
"friend?"
Shen Qiuyu felt a sense of familiarity.
After a moment's thought, I realized where this sense of familiarity came from.
Isn't this the same tactic she used to woo the father of her child back then?

No wonder he's her son!
She not only perfectly inherited my beauty, but her wisdom is no less than that of her mother!
Women see through things but don't say anything.
For a girl to blush and say something like that, the water must be really hot.
She couldn't wake up the dizzy little fish in the water.
"Auntie, aren't you going home to live?" Jiang Youyu asked.
Shen Qiuyu gently touched the girl's rosy cheeks:
"This is my home too."
"..."
Jiang Youyu's eyes suddenly felt a little sore.
He let the woman sit on the edge of the bed and pull him into her arms.
Shen Qiuyu combed the girl's slightly messy hair:
"I thought that kid was staying with you tonight."
"I won't allow him to stay here at night..." Jiang Youyu said softly.
She quickly realized the meaning behind the woman's words:
"Hasn't your aunt gone to see him yet?"
Shen Qiuyu sighed, her tone tinged with annoyance:
"Who knows where that brat ran off to? Nobody's home, the door's not locked, and he's not answering the phone!"
Jiang Youyu suddenly had a bad feeling.
It's almost eleven o'clock now. Where could Gu Zhibei go if he's not staying at home tonight?
Shen Qiuyu continued, "Actually, the reason I rushed back this time is because of my troublesome son."
"In just a few days, he took two days off from school. Today he went even further, skipping the whole afternoon of classes without even telling the teacher."
"Hmph, do you really think I don't exist as your mother?"
The girl's unease grew stronger.
Gu Zhibei sees her every day, so why has he never mentioned these things to her?
And I skipped class this afternoon…
That's not what he said to me today.
Receiving thanks from a friend... necessitates skipping class?
Jiang Youyu's face gradually turned pale.
Suddenly, a telephone rang.
The two exchanged a glance.
Shen Qiuyu answered the phone and put it on speakerphone.
The boy's weary voice suddenly rang out:
"Hello, Mom?"
……
Gu Zhibei declined the young lady's invitation to share a bed.
He was afraid that when Pei Qingning woke up, she would find that the person she was holding in her arms was not a cat, but a handsome young man.
Moreover, she is greedy and domineering; giving in to her will only lead to her increasingly demanding nature.
Gu Zhibei left the girl's body.
Then, under the other person's reluctant gaze, she walked out of the house.
Gu Zhibei pushed open his own front door.
It wasn't pushed away.
He was immediately puzzled.
To allow the tabby cat to come and go freely, he deliberately left the door slightly ajar.
This way, even a cat can open the door.
To avoid revealing their identity.
Why did the door suddenly close so tightly?
Was it blown by the wind?
Gu Zhibei didn't understand.
He had no choice but to turn around and pat Pei Qingning's calf, then pointed his paw at the carpet in front of the door.
The girl understood and picked up a key from under the carpet.
She hesitated for a moment, then hid the key behind her back.
"..."
"..."
The two stared at each other, one big and one small, but in the end, the resentment in the cat's eyes prevailed.
Pei Qingning reluctantly took out her key and opened the door.
Gu Zhibei walked into the house, then turned around and looked at the key in her hand.
Pei Qingning put the key back under the carpet.
A blink means the kitten can go home and sleep.
The tabby cat leisurely dragged the key back into the house.
He gave the other person a rather humane smile.
Snapped.
He closed the door.
Do you really think kittens are stupid?
After a flash of white light, Gu Zhibei returned to human form.
In the living room, an unused fishing rod stood upright, its shape unyielding.
The boy couldn't stop recalling the scene in the bathroom.
He pulled out a few tissues, ready to wipe away the dirt.
In his haste, Gu Zhibei didn't notice the suitcase placed in the corner.
He went to the bedroom and picked up his phone.
As soon as I unlocked the screen, I saw a series of phone calls from my mom.
Gu Zhibei found it a bit strange, but still chose to put down the tissue.
He dialed the phone:
"Hello, Mom?"
...
Hearing the boy's perfectly normal voice, Shen Qiuyu remained unmoved:
"Son, why aren't you answering the phone?"
"Your Majesty, I was just taking a bath." His voice sounded genuine.
Shen Qiuyu's temper flared up.
That brat, he doesn't even blush when he lies!
Jiang Youyu grabbed her hand, signaling her to calm down.
Shen Qiuyu suppressed her anger:
"Really? Not home so late at night, taking a shower outside?"
The boy opposite was clearly stunned, and it took him a while to react:
"You're home?"
"Or should I continue to be fooled by you like a stupid fish?" the woman retorted.
"Mom, why didn't you tell me you were coming back?" The boy's confidence faltered.
Jiang Youyu had never heard him speak in such a submissive tone before, and for a moment she felt inexplicably excited.
She continued listening to their conversation.
Shen Qiuyu showed no sign of letting the boy off the hook, and continued to press:
"Gu Zhibei, are you going to tell the truth or not?"
"...Actually, I just went for a night run."
"You go for a run at night instead of sleeping?" The woman simply didn't believe it.
Gu Zhibei, however, became more and more confident as he spoke: "Mom, I have to massage Jiang Youyu's legs every day. She's a real beauty! How can an eighteen-year-old boy like me withstand that kind of stimulation? Of course I need to exercise to burn off the energy so I can fall asleep!"
Both the woman and the girl were stunned by these words.
Jiang Youyu's entire body turned bright red, and she didn't dare to even glance at Shen Qiuyu.
Sure enough, this guy was just lusting after my body!
But why did he tell Aunt Shen something like that...?
What is she going to do now?!
The girl felt a mix of shyness, anxiety, and a touch of sweetness; after all, the person she liked had complimented her on her beauty…
"Then why did you take leave a few days ago? And you still dare to skip class today." Shen Qiuyu's tone softened.
She glanced at the shy young girl and thought to herself that this daughter-in-law was probably not going to escape her.
Gu Zhibei's voice sounded somewhat helpless:
"There's a reason for all this, let's talk about it tomorrow... Where are you now?"
Shen Qiuyu realized she had misunderstood her son, so she went along with the topic he had brought up and began to speak:
"Am I in Little Fish's bed?"
"Has she become so desperate that she's making a move on an older woman?"
"Say it again?"
Goodnight, Mom.
The call was disconnected.
Shen Qiuyu put down her phone and poked the little fish that was pretending to be dead:
"What, don't want to sleep with an old woman?"
"The aunt looks like my older sister..."
"Sigh, I might as well get rid of that brat and have Xiaoyuer be my daughter instead."
Shen Qiuyu took off her clothes and crawled into the girl's quilt.
Suddenly, she seemed to bump into something.
I reached out and took it out to look.
It was a boy's clothes.
It feels a little damp to the touch.
Jiang Youyu's face froze instantly.
